DJ = Disc Jockey

[Scott M]

Does it not slightly piss you off that a so called dj uses a laptop aka vitual dj to mix live? u go to watch a dj perform so.....

it gets to me a bit because i have seen some djs with big names who cant beatmatch very well on cdj or vinyl? but theyre a name get paid their mint wage and really do no work? what press play then sync it, then mix it in werever with no effort whatsoever

[BizarroBob]

Well, beat matching doesn't impress me so I don't care what tools are used. And I don't watch the DJ perform, I just listen to what he/she is playing. Vinyl, CD, software, whatever--doesn't make the music any different.

Just because anyone can do it, doesn't mean they can do it well.

Listen, a dj is not being paid to beat match a few records. All this talk about software which sync's beats does my head in. If you care more about what a dj is using rather then the actual atmosphere or set he is playing then i'm sorry to say mate but you've lost sight of what dance music is all about. And who ever these dj's are that you say are getting paid but cannot beat match, well, they must be doing something right. I've been mixing for about 6 years now and never miss a beat (maybe once in a blue moon!!) but honestly beat matching is one of the basics of djing. If you cant master that within the first few months you never will. Its not a skill its simple maths.

Good djs play good music. Idiots worry about how they do it.

yeah it dont matter what you use it how u use it to make the crowd move thats what a dj is, if you have a pair of sticks and bang them together and it makes the crowd move thats pretty good, so if your using serato, vinyl or cd aslong as the crowds into what ur doin it works

that probably sound stupid especially the stick bit but hey lol my 2 cents

[daless]

its all about the music!!!!!!

[p2daj]

im with you on this one scott m!!! all these damn djs nowadays getting lazy dont wanna do the work themselves

[rogerger]

when you are dj yourself it is better to see a dj who mixs with cds (or vinyl) to see his technic.with softwares, there is nothing to do! only press synchronisation in the screen...

oh..in vietnam..dj is a hot job..i want to become a dj!!

I understand what you mean, but as a producer I could say Ian Carey isn't talented because he uses loops to produce a lot of his music instead of creating all his own drum sequences.
In retrospect, anyone could say that about almost any music producer from the past because instead of using a real drum set they used sampler.

In my opinion music software is created because it has the potential to create more opportunities without having to actually own some of the hardware needed.

Not everyone learns the same & not everyone does things the same way. Most people don't care how complicated something is they just want to have a good time and enjoy the music.

making drum sequences is def the hardest part in musicproducing.. yeah! right.

[Lennox1481]

That was an example,haha I knew that would be taken outta context. Ian Carey is a great producer, you should quote the whole thing you totally missed the point of my rant.
Nice job having selective reading.

It was more of a comparison, that is something I could relate to since I do not DJ. Sounds like you are a big fan of vengeance loops too melvin

[BIN_NO1]

oh....very great...
